Will this system remove nitrates?

I don't know, you would have to ask the manufactor. The water I get from the system is great. It tastes very good.

only if u filter it through a water filtering system to get rid of the chem in it. Check out u tube video on water filtering systems.

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend this to you. I have terrible results. Try ammonium nitrate on your lawn. It works wonder for me.

Ahhh. not that I noticed. It's not reverse osmosis, if that's what you're hoping for. Taste and odor is the main points on this. Doesn't filter nitrates. If you're on city water, they should filter out state standards in their systems.

My system puts out water that reads 000ppm on a quality dissolved solids meter. I would think it will remove most everything from the water.

technicaly iam not sure ,,but i guess it will make double safe filteration ,,but you should ask a technician better,,thank you

Remove would not be the correct description. It will reduce dissolved minerals in the 70 to 95% range. So if you start with very high dissolved solids for example and iron sulfide is one of the dissolved salts there will still be some left. That said, when you smell iron you are really smelling H2S being liberated by iron reducing bacteria in the water supply system. The carbon filter in this device will remove that to below detection level.

With the 2 filters on this unit i can't see why it would not reduce the tds i don't know of any filters that completely remove all contaminates

Do not use chemical drain cleaners or additives for septic systems like "Rid-X" or similar products. heres the link http://www.houckaerobic.com/aerobicdosanddonts.html

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.

Personally, I try to do 10% water change once a week, but if your chemistries look good (no nitrate or nitrite) you can adjust your water changes accordingly. This filter is still just a filter and is only as good as the media you use. The dipsticks are your best friend so long as you use them as directed. Keep a close eye on nitrates and nitrites and keep the biological portion of your filter in top shape.

Don't waste your money on this system. I used it for a few years. The filters are very difficult to remove. It was very stressful 2x a year changing the filters. The last time I could not get them out and returned the unit to the company. I lost 3-4 cartridges trying to get the unit to work with the help of their customer service. When I sent the unit back they would not replace the filters, even though they were new and it was their fault they couldn't be removed. So $150-200 lost. I bought a Multipure system (more expensive) and I've very happy with it so far. The water is great (better than with Aquasana). I haven't yet changed the filter. It lasts for a year.

The answer is;"depends". The system is designed around easy to change cartridges. The standard 1 micron spun fiber cartridge will not remove chemical contamination but WILL remove rust and sediment very well. To remove chemical contamination, you'll need a high density compressed activated carbon filter.

Yes, it should work to kill bacteria and microbes on the fruits and vegetables. After adding the activated parts A and B together into the amount of water you want to purify, put the fruits and vegetables into the water and wait the recommended amount of time for the solution to purify the water. I would recommend that you prewash the F & V prior to adding to the treated solution, so you do not have any particulate in your treated water. Reserve the treated water for drinking.

Per the package it says 2 rocks per 2 liters of water. The rocks are basically removing the nitrates and tin found naturally in water.

The membrane works fine, values tds after a few days stopped at 20. From the analyzes of the water are not present bacterial and organic pollutants, including nitrates are absent.
